[R] Preserving dates in Excel.

[Patnaik, Tirthankar]

Hi,
	Quick question: Say I have a date variable in a data frame or
matrix, and I'd like to preserve the date format when using write.table.
However, when I export the data, I get the generic number underlying the
date, not the date per se, and a number such as 11323, 11324, etc are
not meaningful in Excel. Is there any way I can preserve the format of a
date on writing into a text-file?

TIA and best,
-Tir
